The style

What is Shito-Ryu?

Shito-Ryu () is one of the major traditional styles of Japanese karate. It was founded by Kenwa Mabuni in the early 20th century, bringing together the two great Okinawan lineages — the fast, linear Shuri-te and the powerful, close-range Naha-te.

The style is known for its rich collection of kata (forms), strong fundamentals and practical self-defence applications — making it excellent for both personal development and competition.
